In this work, we propose a framework called Auto-Assembly for automated robotic assembly from design files and demonstrate a practical implementation on modular parts joined by fastening using a robotic cell consisting of two robots. We show the flexibility of the approach by testing it on different input designs. Auto-Assembly consists of several parts: design analysis, assembly sequence generation, bill-of-process (BOP) generation, conversion of the BOP to control code, path planning, simulation, and execution of the control code to assemble parts in the physical environment.
